1.	Pain (Aches) 01/01/2018 - "The following questionnaire items achieved consensus: 'Increasing the strength of the muscles around the knee stops the knee pain from getting worse,' 'It is the person's own responsibility to continue doing their exercise program,' 'How helpful the exercise program will be determines how well a person sticks to it,' 'Health professionals should educate patients with knee pain about how to change their lifestyle for the better,' and 'Exercise for knee pain is most helpful when it is designed for each person, to suit their own particular needs.' Patient adherence was affected by multiple factors, and some negative factors included 'forgetfulness,' 'getting joint symptoms improved after therapy,' 'professional guidance, subsequent monitoring and supervision,' 'willing to enhance overall health and quality of life,' 'having no time,' 'occupational factors,' 'considering that the pain would worsen while/after exercise,' and 'family factors.' A general Chinese population accepted exercise therapy for treating KOA in our survey. " 04/01/2016 - "Best available evidence indicates that exercise therapy (whether land-based or water-based) is more effective than minimal control in managing pain associated with hip OA in the short term. " 07/01/2022 - "After elderly patients were treated with PKP combined with back muscle rehabilitation exercise of lumbar and dorsal muscle function, the curative effect was significantly improved, the pain was reduced and the lumbar function was significantly improved." 11/01/2018 - "Patients with high to very high levels of physical activity can expect pain relief from supervised exercise therapy and education similar to that of more physically inactive patients." 02/01/2016 - "This review found very low quality but consistent evidence that exercise therapy for PFPS may result in clinically important reduction in pain and improvement in functional ability, as well as enhancing long-term recovery. "
2.	Low Back Pain (Lumbago) 08/01/2006 - "Exercise therapy has limited value for acute low back pain, but strong evidence supports exercise therapy in the management of chronic low back pain. " 03/15/2003 - "Improvements were found in both intervention groups, but manual therapy showed significantly greater improvement than exercise therapy in patients with chronic low back pain. " 11/01/2000 - "There is strong evidence that exercise therapy is not more effective for acute low back pain than inactive or other active treatments with which it has been compared. " 12/20/2017 - "We aimed to determine whether a 5-day intensive inpatient spa and exercise therapy and educational program is more effective than usual care in improving the rate of returning to work at 1 year for patients with subacute and chronic low back pain (LBP) on sick leave for 4 to 24 weeks. " 10/01/2016 - "Therefore, sling exercise therapy is more effective than physical therapy for the recovery of Lumbosacral Sagittal Alignment in patients with chronic low back pain."
3.	Intermittent Claudication 01/01/2019 - "The aim of this study was to perform a comprehensive meta-analysis comparing all therapeutic modalities for intermittent claudication (IC), including best medical therapy (BMT) alone, percutaneous angioplasty (PTA), supervised exercise therapy (SET), and PTA combined with SET, to establish the optimal first-line treatment for IC. " 08/01/2001 - "Exercise rehabilitation, with or without pharmacotherapy, is highly effective in improving health and ambulation in patients with intermittent claudication. " 07/12/2005 - "Exercise therapy (ET) is the main conservative and proven effective treatment of patients with intermittent claudication. " 10/01/2005 - "The efficacy of low-intensity exercise rehabilitation is similar to high-intensity rehabilitation in improving markers of functional independence in PAD patients limited by intermittent claudication, provided that a few additional minutes of walking is accomplished to elicit a similar volume of exercise." 12/01/2022 - "Supervised exercise therapy is recommended as first-line treatment for intermittent claudication by recent guidelines. "
4.	Fatigue 08/01/2023 - "Most of the included studies reported significant improvement in fatigue after exercise therapy. " 09/01/2003 - "Fatigue improved significantly on one out of three measures after exercise therapy and there was a trend for fatigue to improve on all measures after exercise. " 03/12/2019 - "The UK Medical Research Council PACE trial published in 2011 compared available treatments and concluded that when added to specialist medical care, cognitive behaviour therapy and graded exercise therapy were more effective in improving both fatigue and physical function in participants with CFS, than both adaptive pacing therapy and specialised medical care alone. " 06/16/2015 - "Counseling therapies and graded exercise therapy compared with no treatment, relaxation, or support improved fatigue, function, global improvement, and work impairment in some trials; counseling therapies also improved quality of life (low to moderate strength of evidence). " 01/01/2020 - "Exercise therapy is effective in reducing MS-related fatigue; however, its feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness when delivered over the telephone remain unknown. "
5.	Peripheral Arterial Disease 01/01/2023 - "For patients with peripheral artery disease compliance with non-invasive interventions like assistive devices and long-term exercise therapy is important for improved health outcomes. " 07/01/2011 - "To determine whether a percutaneous vascular intervention (PVI) combined with supplemental supervised exercise therapy (SET) is more effective than a PVI alone in improving walking ability in patients with symptomatic peripheral arterial disease (PAD). " 01/01/2020 - "These results suggest that both LBET and HWET improve cardiovascular function, exercise tolerance, and body composition, and HWET showed considerably greater improvements compared with LBET in patients with PAD.NEW & NOTEWORTHY The results of this study reveal for the first time that although land-based exercise therapy is effective for reducing arterial stiffness and blood pressure in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD), heated-water exercise therapy demonstrates greater benefits on vascular function. " 01/01/2023 - "Despite extensive research on the effect of supervised exercise therapy on walking performance in patients with symptomatic peripheral arterial disease (PAD), it remains unclear which training modality provides the greatest improvement in walking capacity. " 01/01/2023 - "Introduction Supervised exercise therapy (SET) is the first-line treatment for the peripheral arterial disease (PAD), however, access and compliance are low. "
